Yeah, pretty pointless really, only goes down about 20-30mm. Plus when you hit a bump or pot hole you run the risk of bottoming the shocks out and breaking them.

I had 60mm Jamex springs on standard shocks, ride quality was awful and the car bounced all over the place.
Looked nice though.

I had Jamex 60mm on my Corsa and it was bouncy as fuck. Wished I'd saved up for the full kit.

I rate the Apex Sport 60mm kit as a good, cheap-ish full kit. However the front shocks won't come with the top mounts, so you'll either need to get the top mounts off your old shocks, or get new ones. I got new ones but they only came with the 2 main bits and not the 2 smaller bits so ended up getting the old top mounts off anyway for the two other bits
